Japanese Lacquerware

Japanese lacquerware represents one of the most refined material traditions in Japanese art. Using natural urushi lacquer, artisans developed sophisticated surface techniques, including gold-decorated maki-e, resulting in works that range from subtle brilliance to luxurious splendor. Galerie Kommoss presents a curated selection of Japanese lacquerware, including tea utensils, boxes, and ceremonial objects, selected for their craftsmanship, condition, and cultural context.
